The best counterexample for the claim that dithering is a good idea is the post itself. It shows a high quality (albeit downscaled) picture of the dog that is only twice as big as the horrible-looking dithered versions. And at 30 KB vs. 14 KB, HTTP header sizes already start to make the marginal savings questionable.
https://imgur.com/a/eBxFlL5 https://imgur.com/a/eBxFlL5 has 4 images next to each other - the original scaled down image, the 14 KB dithered image, a 14 KB JPEG, and a 8 KB webp (both the JPEG and WEBP were at the full 500x500 resolution, downscaled afterwards, since in my experience that often yields better results).
